What It Manages

  • project discovery and switching
  • release metadata (version, tag, date, zip path, optional SHA256)
  • release context detection (Xcode, VS Code, GitHub host, visibility where available)
  • mode selection (full, dry-run, notarized, hosted/self-hosted)
  • audit-oriented output and diagnostics

Core Design Goal

Provide safer release execution with workflow-aware guardrails and clear operational visibility.

Operational Scope

  • pre-release validation
  • pipeline execution control
  • failure hinting and remediation guidance
  • consistent command provenance logging
